3. Which player from another team in the division would you most want on your team?

4. Which team do you have the most respect for? Which team do you hate?

Here's mine:
1. Panthers/Buccaneers - As a Panther fan, I know everybody on the field will be bringing in the whole game. These teams hate each other, but I think there is a mutual respect that shows on gameday.

2. Tampa Bay Buccaneers - see above. Still the only team in the NFC South to win a Super Bowl.

1. What do you guys think is the best rivalry within the division? I really loved rivalry between the Falcons and Buccaneers during the Vick era. Vick was just such a great athlete so watching him come up against the likes of Derrick Brooks and Ronde Barber was always a joy to watch and made for some great games.
2. What team makes you nervous when your team plays them? For some reason Carolina always make me nervous. I'm not sure what particular aspect about them make me feel this way, but they just do.
3. Which player from another team in the division would you most want on your team? I'm going to have to say Steve Smith. I love his style of play and think he would be a huge benefit to Tampa.
4. Which team do you have the most respect for? Which team do you hate? Most respect: Probably the Saints. Most Hated: The Falcons.

1. What do you guys think is the best rivalry within the division? I am pretty biased, but Falcons vs Anyone. It seems like everyone they play, its always very intense and emotional. With the Vick era, TB and Falcon games were fun to watch. Falcon/Saints and Falcon/Panther games are always close.

2. What team makes you nervous when your team plays them?
Bucs pretty easily. They are known to tear us to shreds.

3. Which player from another team in the division would you most want on your team?
I have a man crush on Drew Brees.

4. Which team do you have the most respect for? Which team do you hate?
TB Bucs because they have a great defense year in and year out. Thats impressive. I hate the Bucs.

4. Which team do you have the most respect for? Which team do you hate?

1. Probably Atlanta. It was always fun watching to see how our D would answer Vick next, or vice versa.

2. I get nervous before every game....it's the NFL. We always seem to blow it against the crappy teams too like SF.

3. We need a DE really badly but the good ones in the division are all getting older. Steve Smith is the other player I'd really want but he's in the same age category. Maybe Reggie Bush at WR? That would be fun to watch.

4. I don't respect any other team in the NFL. I'm not that big of an NFL fan that I look at things like that.

3. Which player from another team in the division would you most want on your team?

DeAngelo Hall.

4. Which team do you have the most respect for? Which team do you hate?

I don't really have problems with Tampa Bay or Atlanta... probably take Atlanta over TB. For some reason, I can't stand Carolina though.

1. What do you guys think is the best rivalry within the division?
Falcons / Bucs
2. What team makes you nervous when your team plays them?
Bucs
3. Which player from another team in the division would you most want on your team?
LT from the Saints...forget his name
4. Which team do you have the most respect for? Which team do you hate?
Respect...the Panthers...hate the Bucs

1. Best rivalry?
Bucs/Panthers. Yeah, I'm a Bucs fan... it's always a tough game. It seems like the media pick the panthers to win the division every year; they're the chic ******* pretty boys of the South, with Delhomme and Smith and Peppers. The Bucs are the division's cranky old men - but they still keep that defense nice.

2. Nervous?
The Panthers. Ever since that one game when TB had like 3 XP blocked, I've not been able to watch the Bucs play them.

3. Player from another team?
Off the top of my head, I'd say Maake Komeatu.

4. Respect
I actually respect the Falcons. They've made some bad decisions, but they seem to be an organization with character. I hate the Panthers, but they're a decent organization... I absolutely loathe the Saints. No respect for them at all.

Hey, I want to apologize for that. It shouldn't happen again.

1. What do you guys think is the best rivalry within the division?
Hmm...this is a tough one. I hate the Falcons more but I think Bucs/Panthers produces better games.

2. What team makes you nervous when your team plays them?
The Falcons. At least when they had Vick. Not so sure what to think anymore. I will say that I never take the Saints seriously, despite their recent success and despite the fact that I think they take more than their fair share of games from us

3. Which player from another team in the division would you most want on your team?
John Abraham

4. Which team do you have the most respect for? Which team do you hate?
Sorta already answered this one - respect the Bucs most for how theyve kept that defense together so long and how Gruden churns through QBs but still usually gets solid play. Hate the Falcons most

As a Panther fan, I think undoubtedly the best rivalry is the 85 South Rivalry we share with the Falcons. Those are the best and the worst games. The intensity in the stands because its such an easy travel that loads of fans travel back and forth for games. It's great when we kill the Falcons, and bitter as aged piss when we lose. The proximity of both cities really makes this a great rivalry. A close second is the rivalry with Tampa Bay. More great fans who make football both painful and enjoyable.

2. What team makes you nervous when your team plays them?

I'm split between the Falcons and the Bucs. With the Falcons on old, Vick could expose you on those bootlegs either with the rush or with the dump off to Crumpler. Warric Dunn in either uniform always has a way with our team. Then when John Abraham was added, it got even uglier.

The Bucs have always had a great D, and you know that the only way to beat them is to make the fewest misakes possible. Your star power had to shine to win those games. The Bucs offense wasn't always the best, but Gruden would find ways to get down the field if you gave them to him.

3. Which player from another team in the division would you most want on your team?

Probably a guy like Will Smith. Good technical DE, someone to really compliment Peppers.

4. Which team do you have the most respect for? Which team do you hate?

I have respect for all the NFC South teams. They are all professional football players. Each team has their class guys (like a Brees) and their mouth guys (like Hall) who either shine up or scrub up their images. The team with the coolest fans I've dealt with are the Saints fans who have come to my section. They have been pretty cool and decent folks. I have had MANY bad experiences with Atlanta and Tampa fans over the years. I guess it's that proximity thing.
